Anyone taking care of the libdrm, mesa, libgl, ati-dri and xf86-video-ati rebuild so all the benefits of kms can be fully used? As far as I know it is needed to make this work as well as possible with ATI cards.

The KMS problem was expected and Andy will probably take care of it very soon.

The mirrors should get the rebuilt/updated packages soon. Please report if KMS is working for you. KMS is very soon freezing my desktop without entries in Xorg or everything log file :(

The missing firmware can be found in this AUR pkg:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33016

Gary

mmm.. i installed this package but get exactly the same error

I can see the file in /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin but it cant be loaded ... i dont know why ...

Ignacio

Ok i do more research and 3d working now. This is what i find: 1) file /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin is missing from kernel26-firmware. 2) This file can only be loaded if you use kms late start (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Late_start). 3) To use early start (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Early_start) the file should be included in initramfs ... but i really dont know how ...
